I love being a sitter because working with kids brings me so much joy. I’ve spent the last four years as a paraprofessional in schools, supporting children from pre-K through middle school. Along the way, I’ve developed patience, creativity, and strong communication skills while working closely with kids, parents, and teachers. I’m also EMT- and CPR-certified, so safety is always a top priority. Currently, I’m in nursing school, pursuing my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse. Babysitting allows me to continue doing what I love caring for children and helping them feel safe, supported, and happy.

Hi! I am looking to get back into babysitting to help support myself through Physician Assistant School at Hofstra University. While studying Molecular Biology at Colgate University for undergrad, I also led a club offering after school care/activities for 4th and 5th graders at the local school. After graduating in 2022, I began working as a medical assistant at pediatric office, where I gained experience treating children for the last year. My favorite part of my job was interacting with kids of all ages, so I am really excited about getting back into baby sitting! Making the kids comfortable in the office and helping them feel better has been so rewarding, so I am looking forward to giving the same care to your children. In my free time I love being with my family and friends, going to the beach, and exercising. Please reach out if you’d like to know more about me, I would love to chat!

With only 3 years of experience in child care, I feel like I’ve been doing this for a decade. I recently worked at a daycare so I have a lot of experience watching multiple children of different ages at once, as well as having experience nannying 3 foster siblings with learning and behavioral disorders. My approach with children is to always be kind and try and to see things from their perspective, while also being stern and making sure they are safe, learning something and having fun. I am adult and pediatric first aid, CPR, and AED certified (certified through Red Cross, you can verify my validity by checking my certificate ID, which is 01VNC1Q), and love doing house work like cooking, cleaning and laundry. I also walk dogs for wag! , and have 3 cats myself so good with pets and can assist with caring for them as well :)

I'm currently only available for weeknights and weekends. Feel free to reach out with any last minute needs! I’ve been babysitting and nannying all over the city for the past 10 years. I've worked with infants to 12 year olds. Working with children is one of my biggest passions, and I love meeting new families. Through babysitting and teaching, it’s my goal to give children the tools they need to empower themselves and to be compassionate, loving, and resilient. As a caregiver, I strive to be a strong role model for children. I aim to be enthusiastic, grounded, calm, patient, and curious. I encourage children to be dreamers and explorers, sing with their hearts, and tell the silliest jokes. I balance assertiveness with affection and compassion with determination. My goal is to give children the boundaries they need to feel safe and secure, but also the freedom to express themselves fully and to celebrate that. I can be very flexible and do my best to always put the family’s needs first. I work well with families who share my same values as a mentor and caregiver. I'm also looking for a family that values communication, open-mindedness, and are willing to work with me as a team player. I'm very comfortable taking children out on adventures throughout the city. I've worked predominantly in upper Manhattan and the Park Slope area of Brooklyn. Nevertheless, I know NYC very well and am very comfortable traveling with children throughout all parts of the city. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I take pride in keeping the home running smoothly while providing consistent guidance, attention, and encouragement to the children. Infant & Newborn Care: I am experienced in preparing formulas, sterilizing bottles, maintaining feeding and sleep schedules, diapering, infant laundry, baths, and baby-proofing the home. I focus on early learning activities, maintaining a clean and safe environment, and supporting healthy growth and routines while providing attentive, loving care.
